Freedom Academy is an annual event sponsored by the Honorary Colonels Corps since 1961. High school students, also known as delegates, from across Utah come to Camp Williams for an immersive week focused on the responsibilities, sacrifices, and civic institutions that help preserve the American way of life. Delegates visit the State Capitol, local media organizations, the Utah State Correctional Facility, and the federal courthouse among other locations to get an in-depth look at how these institutions work. Delegates also hear firsthand accounts from veterans, refugees, and motivational speakers who share experiences that highlight the value of the freedoms Americans enjoy.
